After self-righteous rockstar Johnny Splatter puts a bullet in his own head, only five people are chosen to attend the reading of his will: the manager, the shrink, the guitarist, the lover, and the groupie. Will they get what they came for, or what Splatter thinks they deserve?
Practical Effects
Gooey, tactile kills that scream 80s Dante magic.

Tony Todd's voice could make a grocery list sound ominous.
Direction
Dante squeezes a feature's worth of bile into 29 minutes.
Director
Joe Dante
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dante shot this as a web series pilot for Fearnet; the 2.9 TMDB rating is almost impressively brutal.
This is essentially Dante's poison pen letter to the music industry that chewed him up—Johnny's narcissism mirrors every director who got screwed by the system.
